8 NAVIGATION8.1 Using GPSSuunto Ambit2 S uses Global Positioning System (GPS) indetermining your current position. GPS incorporates a set ofsatellites that orbit the Earth at an altitude of 20,000 km at thespeed of 4 km/s.The built-in GPS receiver in Suunto Ambit2 S is optimized for wristuse and receives data from a very wide angle.

8.1.1 Getting GPS signal

Suunto Ambit2 S activates GPS automatically when you select asport mode with the GPS functionality, determine your location, orstart navigating.

Page 34: SUUNTO AMBIT2 S 2ns.suunto.com/.../Suunto_Ambit2_S_UserGuide_EN.pdf3 USING BUTTONS Suunto Ambit2 S has five buttons which allow you to access all the features. BACK LAP START STOP

NOTE: When you activate GPS for the first time, or have notused it for a long time, it might take longer than usual to get a GPSfix. Subsequent GPS starts will take less time.

TIP: To minimize GPS initiation time, hold the watch steady withGPS facing up and make sure you are in an open area so that thewatch has a clear view of the sky.

Troubleshooting: No GPS signal• For an optimal signal, point the GPS part of the watch upwards.

The best signal can be received in an open area with a clear viewof the sky.

• The GPS receiver usually works well inside tents and other thincovers. However, objects, buildings, dense vegetation or cloudyweather can reduce the GPS signal reception quality.

• GPS signal does not penetrate any solid constructions or water.Therefore do not try to activate GPS for example insidebuildings, caves, or under water.

8.1.2 GPS grids and position formats

Grids are lines on a map that define the coordinate system used onthe map.Position format is the way the GPS receiver's position is displayed onthe watch. All the formats relate to the same location, they onlyexpress it in a different way. You can change the position format inthe watch settings under GENERAL / Format / Position format.

Page 35: SUUNTO AMBIT2 S 2ns.suunto.com/.../Suunto_Ambit2_S_UserGuide_EN.pdf3 USING BUTTONS Suunto Ambit2 S has five buttons which allow you to access all the features. BACK LAP START STOP

You can select the format from the following grids:• latitude/longitude is the most commonly used grid and has three

different formats:o WGS84 Hd.d°o WGS84 Hd°m.m'o WGS84 Hd°m's.s

• UTM (Universal Transverse Mercator) gives a two-dimensionalhorizontal position presentation.

• MGRS (Military Grid Reference System) is an extension of UTMand consists of a grid zone designator, 100,000-meter squareidentifier and a numerical location.

Suunto Ambit2 S also supports the following local grids:• British (BNG)• Finnish (ETRS-TM35FIN)• Finnish (KKJ)• Irish (IG)• Swedish (RT90)• Swiss (CH1903)• UTM NAD27 Alaska• UTM NAD27 Conus• UTM NAD83• New Zealand (NZTM2000)

NOTE: Some grids cannot be used in the areas north of 84°N andsouth of 80°S, or outside the countries that they are intended for.

8.1.3 GPS accuracy and power saving

When customizing sport modes, you can define the GPS fix intervalusing the GPS accuracy setting in Movescount. The shorter theinterval, the better the accuracy during exercise.By increasing the interval and lowering the accuracy, you canextend the battery life.The GPS accuracy options are:• Best: ~ 1 sec fix interval, highest power consumption• Good: ~ 5 sec fix interval, moderate power consumption• OK: ~ 60 sec fix interval, lowest power consumption• Off: no GPS fix

8.2 Checking your locationSuunto Ambit2 S allows you to check the coordinates of yourcurrent location using GPS.To check your location:1. Press [Start Stop] to enter the start menu.2. Scroll to NAVIGATION using [Start Stop] and enter with [Next].3. Press [Next] to select Location.4. Press [Next] to select Current.5. The watch starts searching for a GPS signal and displays GPS

found after acquiring the signal. After that your currentcoordinates are shown on the display.

If you have already calibrated the compass and want to re-calibrate it, you can access the calibration option in the optionsmenu.To calibrate the compass:1. Keep [Next] pressed to enter the options menu.2. Scroll to GENERAL using [Light Lock] and enter with [Next].3. Scroll to Compass using [Start Stop] or [Light Lock] and enter

If the calibration is successful, the text CALIBRATION SUCCESSFUL isdisplayed. If the calibration does not succeed, the text CALIBRATIONFAILED is displayed. To retry the calibration, press [Start Stop].

9.2 Setting declination valueTo ensure correct compass readings, set an accurate declinationvalue.Paper maps point to true north. Compasses, however, point tomagnetic north – a region above the Earth where the Earth’smagnetic fields pull. Because magnetic North and true North arenot at the same location, you must set the declination on yourcompass. The angle in between magnetic and true north is yourdeclination.

56

Page 57: SUUNTO AMBIT2 S 2ns.suunto.com/.../Suunto_Ambit2_S_UserGuide_EN.pdf3 USING BUTTONS Suunto Ambit2 S has five buttons which allow you to access all the features. BACK LAP START STOP

The declination value appears on most maps. The location ofmagnetic north changes yearly, so the most accurate and up-to-datedeclination value can be obtained from the internet (for examplewww.magnetic-declination.com).Orienteering maps, however, are drawn in relation to magneticnorth. This means that when you are using orienteering maps youneed to turn the declination correction off by setting thedeclination value to 0 degrees.To set the declination value:1. Keep [Next] pressed to enter the options menu.2. Press [Next] to enter GENERAL.3. Scroll to Compass using [Light Lock] and select with [Next].4. Scroll to Declination with [Light Lock] and select with [Next].5. Turn the declination off by selecting --, or select W (west) or E

(east).6. Set the declination value with [Start Stop] or [Light Lock].7. Press [Next] to accept the setting.

13 FUSEDSPEEDFusedSpeedTM is a unique combination of GPS and wristacceleration sensor readings for measuring your running speedmore accurately. GPS signal is adaptively filtered based on wristacceleration, giving more accurate readings at steady runningspeeds and a quicker response to changes in speed.

FusedSpeedTM will benefit you the most when you need highlyreactive speed readings during training, for example, when runningon uneven terrain or during interval training. If you temporarilylose GPS signal, for example, because buildings block the signal,Suunto Ambit2 S is able to continue showing accurate speedreadings with the help of the GPS calibrated accelerometer.
